Bears rookie quarterback Justin Fields has only thrown four touchdown passes this season, but his stock is trending in the right direction. Fields might not be generating many TDs with his arm, but he has been making up for it on the ground, where he has rushed for 148 yards over his last two games. With the rookie signal-caller starting to crank up his production, should he be one of your Week 11 Fantasy football picks? Where should he be in your Fantasy football rankings?
Fields is coming off a career-high 291 passing yards in a narrow loss at Pittsburgh in Week 9. He is going up against a Baltimore pass defense that is dead-last in the NFL, making Fields an intriguing option to include in your Fantasy football strategy. Before you lock in your Week 11 Fantasy football picks, be sure to check out the Week 11 Fantasy football predictions from the proven computer model at SportsLine.
When it comes to ranking players, SportsLine’s model beat human experts in Fantasy football for the past several seasons especially when there were big differences in ranking. Over the course of a season, that could literally be the difference between winning your league or going home emptyhanded.
Last week, the model was extremely high on Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, saying he’d finish as the No. 2 quarterback in Fantasy football despite his recent struggles. The result: Mahomes threw for 406 yards and five touchdown passes without an interception. Anybody who had him in their lineup was well on their way to a huge week.
Now, the model, which simulates every NFL game 10,000 times, has revealed its Fantasy football rankings for Week 11 of the 2021 NFL season. Head to SportsLine now to see them.
Top Week 11 Fantasy football picks
One player the model is high on this week: Bengals tight end C.J. Uzomah. He already has the second-most receiving yards in a season of his career and scored fives times. He’s been a reliable option for quarterback Joe Burrow, even as the team’s fourth option through the air.
SportsLine’s model projects Uzomah to have a solid day at the office in a competitive Bengals vs. Raiders game. The Raiders have excelled at stopping the run this season, so there will be plenty of targets for Uzomah and the rest of the Bengals’ receiving corps.
And a massive shocker: Colts wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr., who is being started in 96 percent of CBS Sports Fantasy football leagues, stumbles big-time and doesn’t even crack the top 20 at his position. T.Y. Hilton just turned 32 and he’s only played in three games this season, so Pittman has stepped up to fill the void for a No. 1 receiver in Indianapolis’ offense. He’s amassed 55 catches for 729 yards and five touchdowns.
However, despite the productivity, Pittman has been targeted six times or fewer in four of his last five games and faces a difficult matchup against the Bills on Sunday. Buffalo ranks No. 2 in the NFL in pass defense and is No. 1 in net adjusted passing yards allowed per attempt (5.1). Expect Pittman to see plenty of Tre’Davious White in coverage.
